  "account": "German car insurers are seeing the benefits of price increases from previous years, according to reinsurer Hannover Rück. The industry has largely stabilized, with technical results returning to a slightly positive level and profitability improving noticeably, said E+S Rück, a Hannover Rück subsidiary. However, the development remains fragile due to rising replacement and repair costs, which continue to drive up claims inflation in the car insurance market. E+S Rück expects a increasingly challenging risk environment, with factors such as inflation, cyber risks, and geopolitical uncertainties contributing to higher potential losses.",
  "summary": "The reinsurer believes that profitability has noticeably improved. However, due to high replacement part and repair costs, the development remains fragile.",
